    I had never played it, so i tried it with this new update and i have to be honest- not a big fan. Maybe this game is starting show it's age, but i had more fun in Skyrim than in this one (ironically skyrim is older). World is kind of boring and empty, main character is very monotone and kind of emotionless, so it was really hard to care about, what was going on.

    The Witcher 3 is by far the most over rated game in the history of gaming. The next gen update did nothing to change my mind

    As a first time player this must be one of the most overrated games out today. The combat and world is mediocre at best. The character building lacks depth and the world feels empty with repetitive enemy encounters. It reminds of Farcry and some of the new Assassin Creed games. I got bored after a while. I think the big saving grace for this game is its solid story. I can see how maybe aAs a first time player this must be one of the most overrated games out today.

    I don't understand why this game is so highly rated? I have played it on PS4 and PS5 and both versions underwhelmed me by their performance and gameplay. The first thing I noticed is just how badly this game runs in general. The only option I found bearable was the performance option on PS5 because when you turn ray tracing on it's a stuttering mess just like the PS4 version.

I like the world of this game, it looks really cool, but the gameplay itself is oddly clunky and frustrating. I think the game's difficulty really comes from the confusing amount of information it throws at you regarding enemies and the world as well as the janky character movement. This is a game for people with endless patience and a lot of free time, for the casual gamer I don't think this is worth it. Personally I prefer Cyberpunk 2077 by a long shot.… Expand

    Overrated then, overrated now. It's not a bad game by any means but it's far from perfect and I find the endless praise this game gets baffling. Gameplay wise it's very average with combat and character control akin to something we'd expect from the PS2 era. MGSV dropped in the same year as Witcher 3 and the difference between the two gameplay wise is night and day, played side by side andOverrated then, overrated now.

MGSV dropped in the same year as Witcher 3 and the difference between the two gameplay wise is night and day, played side by side and it emphasizes just how poor Witcher 3 was in that department. Compare the two games story wise though and it's Witcher 3 that shines. Bloodborne also dropped this same year which betters Witcher 3 in many departments and was my personal Goty.… Expand

    This game was a 5 when it first came out so it’s obvious that the ps5 version deserved nothing less. I didn’t think this game could ever get any better but they’ve done it. I wanna play the new god of war so bad but can’t because I’m absolutely hooked on playing this for the 3rd time.

    Es un juego que quise comprar. Pero no he podido ni echarle 5 horas. Se me hace muy pesado. Y sabiendo que hay que echar 100-300 horas para pasarlo entero, sabía que después de las 5 primeras horas y lo que notaba, no iba a llegar ni de cerca. Se me queda corto este update

    There’s not much to give an opinion on here, as much of the change implemented is visual and quality of life. It’s a welcome update, and if it’s been a while since you’ve played or if you’ve just never gotten around to it, now is a great time to do so. The Witcher 3 has been in a good place for a while, but these upgrades further cement it in it’s spot as one of the all-time greats.

    A welcome update, The Witcher 3 is just as magnificent and engrossing as it was seven years ago. It looks beautiful, but still retains that rusty charm that sometimes creeps into a game so massive. Given that it’s a free upgrade, there’s no better time to get back into the world of Geralt and the Wild Hunt.
